The pavilion was closed, and for a while, the arrows rained down, and the Pakistani army suffered countless casualties and retreated.

The eighth prince Ba Yuan'an and Ba Xiu also chased after him, and heard that the Chu army had entered the Tingzi Pass, and the feather arrows shot down on the pass were as many as cattle hairs, and the Ba army suffered heavy losses, so they had to order the withdrawal of the army, and they were five or six miles away from the Tingzi Pass.

The red-faced tiger Fan Yuntong and others rushed to the front, all returning with arrows. Fan Yuntong fortunately slightly injured his left arm.

Wu Cheng and Mu Mangzi, like headless flies, chased after other people's butts, and when they returned to the camp, they heard that Fan Yuntong came back first and was injured, so they hurriedly entered the tent to ask Hou.

Before the two of them could speak, Fan Yuntong, who had just bandaged his wounds, smiled first: "Fourth brother, fifth brother, did you two kill under the woman's clothes? ”

Wucheng said: "The road is unfamiliar. ”

Mu Mangzi said: "I was dizzy from killing, and when I saw Chu Bing, I chased after him and got lost." Third brother, how are the injuries?"

Fan Yuntong smiled: "It's okay, I was cone by the ant leaf." Next time, remember, follow me and you won't get lost. ”

Mu Mangzi smiled: "If we really follow behind the third brother, I'm afraid we will also be injured." ”

Fan Yuntong said: "On the battlefield, casualties are inevitable. This is the second time I've been injured, and it's all minor. The eldest brother and the second brother have been injured once or twice. ”

Mu Mangzi nodded and said, "Yes." ”

Fan Yuntong smiled at Mu Mangzi and said, "There are not many warriors in Pakistan who are not injured. Men are not injured, women are not loved, fourth brother, you are like a beauty, except for the navel eye, there is no scar, how can a beauty love?" someone laughed.

It was a joke, but Mu Mangzi felt a little sour taste in his chest, this seemed to be Fan Yuntong showing off to himself the love of the first beauty in Pakistan for him, although he understood that the matter between Fan Mengyu and Fan Yuntong had become a thing of the past.

Mu Mangzi thought about the beauty for a moment, and said with a smile: "Not necessarily." ”

Fan Yuntong didn't know Mu Mangzi's thoughts, and laughed.

After a day of fighting, and very tired, they ate their food, rested each other, and went to bed as if they were dead, and they suffered the men who stood guard.

On the second day, the Pakistani army took advantage of yesterday's victory to launch several strong attacks on Tingzi Pass, and all the offensive and siege equipment were used, and many people were killed and wounded on both sides, and they failed to break through.

Third, the Pakistani army attacked again in turns, with more and more casualties, zero results, and the army was withdrawn at noon.

Chu general Yangming attacked Pakistan this time, and it was smooth sailing, but he was about to succeed, but he suffered a big loss from the "White Tiger Formation", lost his troops and lost his generals, and apologized to the king of Chu on the one hand, and asked for more troops, while calming down, hanging up the war-free card, reorganizing the army, and thinking about countermeasures.

In the afternoon of the same day, the lord of Pakistan sent an order to the heads of all ministries to go to the temporary palace Yuhou Mansion to discuss again.

Ba Zhu said with a difficult face: "The Chu army occupies the Pavilion Pass, like a bone stalk in the throat, and a sword is inserted in the chest, so it is not easy to take it." The Tiger Array has not yet been able to completely break the Chu Army, and the Tiger Array can only scare him once, and then it will have little effect, everyone, what other clever plan is there?"

Yu Hou said: "Providence is like this, I really have no good solution, I implore you to make a move to save me from hanging upside down." Zhuang Zhuang gave a heavy salute.

Everyone was speechless for a moment. ‘

Ditto General Ba Xiu said: "The battlefield, after all, is a contest of strength, whether in terms of national strength or military strength, our country is at a disadvantage. Our original advantages are, first, the geographical advantage, second, good at fighting in the deep mountains and old forests, and second, the samurai are not afraid of death. Of course, the people of Chu are not afraid of dead ghosts. Now, I have lost two obstacles, and I have lost all my geographical advantages. If the Chu army is allowed to gain a firm foothold, it will be difficult to take it back.

"As long as Tingziguan and Shicheng are in the hands of the people of Chu, they will be like a tiger's eye, and they may lose Yucheng at any time. Therefore, the current situation, although there is a big victory, is still extremely bad for me. It is advisable to go all out and recover the Pavilion Pass first. ”

Ba Ren, a veteran of the capital of the capital, thought to himself, the two dangers are related to the various departments of Yushui, and also to the future of the eight princes, the generals who came to support the capital Jiangzhou, one is not familiar with the terrain, and the other is the seven masters and eight hearts. Although Tingziguan is the last barrier of Yucheng, our army is tens of thousands, and they can't all be placed in one Tingziguan. ”

The generals nodded.

So it was agreed: the veteran general Ba Ren, the Gongzi Gongbiao of the Gong clan, and the general Zheng Zhou from Jiangzhou led the headquarters to take a small road, and Gongzi, the leader of the Gong clan who had previously blocked the Chu army in the Shengui Gorge of Qianjiang (now Apengjiang), and the leader of the Hu'anshan tribe who participated in the battle while sick, attacked Shicheng by land and water (to be precise, it was a strong attack on Shicheng, because the Chu people were easy to anticipate), and the goal of the battle was to make the main force of the Chu army in Tingziguan worry that they would be attacked by the enemy on both sides and cause chaos, and second, to cut off the reinforcements of the Chu army in the direction of Xiaoguan to the Chu army in Tingziguan. The main force of the Pakistani army continued to storm Tingzi Pass. It was agreed that five days later, the two places would fight at the same time to recapture Shicheng and Tingziguan in one fell swoop.

After the distribution, Ba Ren, Gongbiao, and Zheng Xuan went to carry out the task first, and the generals who stayed behind continued to discuss how to carry out the next big battle to recover Tingzi Pass.

Yu Hou said: "Thank you for your efforts for my Yu Shui." We are tired, and the enemy is tired. In that year, Wu attacked Chu, Wu soldiers were few, Chu soldiers were numerous, Wu Zixu offered three points of fatigue strategy: that is, the soldiers were divided into three roads, and took turns to harass the Chu army all the way, the Chu army was exhausted, and finally the Chu capital was broken by the Wu army.

"Yang Ming is not attacking Yucheng, and he is also trying to find a way, why don't we also use part of our troops to attack and disturb the Chu army in turn, so that he will not be at peace day and night. However, I kept my spirits up and ensured that after four days, Shicheng and Tingziguan would work at the same time. ”

Ba Lu, a famous general of Pakistan and the general leader of the Jiangzhou Tiger Army, said: "Yuhou is very good. ”

A few months ago, the prince Ba Dongan made some personnel adjustments to the army stationed in Jiangzhou, and promoted the famous general Ba Lu, who had little heart, to be the general leader of the strongest army in Pakistan, the Tiger Army, in order to squeeze out the predecessor, and the actual power was in the hands of Ba Dong'an himself.

In view of the fact that the warriors in the area of Tongdu and Danfushui had been fighting hard for many days, they took the opportunity to seize the opportunity to rest and recuperate, and the two generals from Jiangzhou, Yuyu and Xiangdan, who had just arrived and were not tired, led their troops to harass the Chu army day and night.

At the same time, the lord of Pakistan ordered that all ministries must strictly prevent a sneak attack by the Chu army.

At the end of the meeting, Yu Hou finally relieved himself a little and said, "In order to thank you for coming to relieve the siege of Yucheng, I have prepared a banquet, please use it before leaving." In all the military camps, food and meat have been delivered. ”

The lord of Ba said: "A family doesn't speak two words, it is all the territory of my bus, and there is no thank you or no thanks." What is prepared, not wasted. Today, the widow is also doing a great job for the generals! However, after tonight, the two passes and one city will not be recovered, and no one shall relax or drink alcohol, lest they make a mistake! Those who violate the order will be beheaded!"

Yu Hou said again: "The sacrifice is ready to stop, please ask Wu Gong to preside over the sacrifice ceremony." "Wu Gong, refers to the biggest sorcerer in Pakistan, the titular master of Menglong, the son of Hu'an Mountain, who fought with the Ba lord.

Although it has not completely calmed down, there has been no large-scale fighting for the time being, and most Pakistanis are in a period of boredom.

Within dozens of square miles of Fang Yuan, tens of thousands of soldiers, cow does not send.

In the afternoon of this day, a fat wild dog did not know what was going on, and strayed into a military camp of the Hu'an Shan Yu clan, and was caught by three samurai of the Zhoushi Battalion and handed over to the two of them to take care of.

The two people, one is a Park samurai, mixed with the name "Delicious Five", and the other is from the Ruo clan, mixed with the name "Hungry and Thirsty Diamond", both of them are the most fond of making food.

The two found a hidden place in the mountains and forests behind the barracks and began to barbecue.

The dog meat is about to be roasted, and its flavor is fragrant.

"Delicious five" sighed repeatedly.

"Hungry and thirsty" said: "The meat is almost cooked, what are you sighing for?"

"Delicious five" said: "It's a pity, there is good meat but no good wine, otherwise, it will be comfortable, hey!"

A samurai who smelled the fragrance smiled and said, "The king ordered that no one should drink alcohol until the two levels are recovered, what do you sigh about?"

"Hungry and thirsty" said: "I don't believe it, the generals were in Yuhou's mansion a few days ago, and they didn't get a drop of wine. Which one is not, just those of us who work hard. ”

Several samurai said, "I don't believe it either." ”

"Hungry Thirst Drill" said: "If there is such good dog meat, I don't believe they don't use it for wine." The point is, after drinking, they are not afraid. ”

"Delicious five" said: "Brother said this, what is the reason?"

"Hunger and thirst" said: "Haven't you heard that you can't be courteous to a courtesy, and you can't punish a doctor? There are few doctors in the barracks, but the general can catch a lot of them, and I think that if the general also comes to drink today, even if he is discovered, he will be fine. ”

Several people wondered: "Is there any reason for this?"

"Delicious five" said: "At this juncture, several big leaders, which one do you dare to invite to drink?" I don't dare to see any of them!"

"Hungry Thirst Drill" said with a smile: "Childe, Pu Yancang, Tutianqi, Xiangzhen and others, they definitely don't dare to invite." However, there is a hungry old idiot who has just come (note: Qingzhuang), he has married a brother with a son, a living ghost, and righteousness, will he still punish him? If you invite him, he will definitely come. A few days ago, I saw him drinking, and I knew that it was a lot. The wine depends on the character, and I will keep him coming. "Living ghost" refers to the master of the boat.

Another person said: "If you are not familiar with him, who will invite him?"

"It was because he was not familiar with him that he went to invite him, so he said that he had got a dog, and the little ones would pick him up. ”

"Delicious Five" said: "Say that these are all empty lights, the question is, you are not allowed to leave the barracks, where can I get wine?"

"Hungry Drill" said: "I have my own way. Once, in a war, my companion and I saved a life from the hands of the Chu people, he owed me a lot of personal favors, and he lit a torch to repay my favors, and he happened to be in the barracks of the army of the capital to manage wine, and went to borrow two urns. ”

Several people discussed, and "Hungry Thirst Diamond" found an opportunity to invite Wucheng.

When Wucheng heard that there was delicious food, he was overjoyed, so he was naturally not polite, carrying Mu Mangzi and others on his back, and followed the "hunger and thirst" to a hidden mountain recess behind the camp tent.

Wu Cheng glanced at it, and saw that there were not many people, including only six of them, and when he smelled the fragrance of dog meat, he was overjoyed, and his saliva was about to flow out of the corners of his mouth.

Sitting on the ground, seeing that there was wine, Wu Cheng exclaimed, "Where did you get the wine?"

"Hungry Thirst Drill" said: "Don't worry, it's not stolen." ”

Rest assured to eat meat, Wucheng began to resolutely not drink, several people deliberately touted, it was a package of medicine for the right way, this kid floated into the air after a while, took a sip of wine, and boasted: "This wine seems to be more comfortable than the immortal drunk." ”

Someone asked, "What immortal is drunk?"

Wucheng said proudly: "The world's fine wine." ”

"Hungry Thirst Diamond" flattered: "The hero is really a very person!"

At the beginning, everyone didn't dare to drink more, only took small sips, still worried about getting drunk, and as they gradually got better, they had already forgotten about the military regulations.

These six people have not drunk good wine for a long time, like flies seeing carrion, drinking a wine urn to the sky, all drunk.

Wucheng was originally a wine fairy, but he didn't know that the wine he drank today was the wine used for sacrifices, and he didn't know that the wine used by the Ba people for battlefield sacrifices was the highest grade Ba Xiangqing, and the purity and strength of the wine were much better than what he usually drank.

As soon as Wucheng tasted it, he knew that it was an absolutely good wine, such as a scalper seeing a urine bucket, where he felt that he lived, and he was very tired for several days, and he was actually drunk.

Six people, you crooked and I fell asleep in the recess of the mountain, I don't want to, I was caught by the samurai patrolling the mountain, and I don't need to say anything, I am all tied up.

The six woke up in a dream and regretted it.

The patrol asked about the source of the wine, and several people were killed. One of the team members was careful, and found that it was a good wine for sacrifice from the wine urn, and after a surprise inspection, he caught the person who "borrowed" the wine without permission.

The source of the liquor was ascertained, and the patrol referred the six men to the Ditto General Ba Xiu.

Ba Xiu was worried about the war, and his mood was already very bad, and he was furious: "The king has issued a strict order to ban alcohol, and several people not only dare to drink alcohol in violation of the order, but also dare to drink the sacrificial wine! No wonder I have been losing the war recently, and it turns out that someone is blaspheming the gods!"

Ba Xiu said no more, and ordered the six men to be tied to a tree, and beheaded to be sent to the camp for public display, and the man who was in charge of the wine was to be beheaded together.
